    Looks great. Hope it sounds great too!

    With that colour, it should be a "Prince-ton" (get it???)

    LOL! Thanks Captain O!
    I'll need to pay closer attention (or not be too lazy to reread through entire threads).

    Uummm.. I could be mistaken but to my eyes the pic of the completed amp bottles shows half a 12AX7,two EL84's as finals, a filter cap and rectifier bottle..... If they are 6V6's the photo has some optical size distortion going on as they don't look like any in my 45y in the electronics/tube repair game that I have seen before.

    Marcel, you are correct. They are EL84's. I was just confused because the thread started out as a 5E3 build.

    I'll definitely try a demo. I'm not a very confident guitarist, so I'm always a bit hesitant to share anything, but I should get over that anxiety really

    Ah ha ha

    Thanks! I couldn't have done it a few years ago, and I still have an awful lot to learn, but it's been a lot of fun.

    Agreed! (I think my wife agrees too, ha ha)

    Yeah, sorry, I figured I'd roll all future builds into the same thread - it's probably a slightly confusing way to do it...
